Could some kind person offer some advice about making a small water tight box? Mad or not, I am attempting to convert a Hobby Boss 1/350 scale USS Virginia sub to a dynamic diving RC sub. There seem to be a fair few RC components available on Ebay which are small enough to achieve this and fit into a hull that is about 3cms in diameter and 32 cms long. I think it would have to be a box rather than a cylinder and I have lots of plasticard to make one or more. I'd use fine diameter brass tube and fine brass rod for the servo rods and prop shaft. I presume these need greasing or oiling first to make them watertight? I think I'd add a brass prop. I'm used to modelling in very small scales so that side of things doesn't worry me!
Cheers
